The Extron® VN-Matrix 200 Series provides real-time transmission of high resolution audio visual content across standard IP networks for live viewing, collaboration, storage, and playback.
The VN-Matrix 200 Series encodes video or graphics sources at resolutions up to HD or WUXGA, streams the video and audio over an IP network, then decodes the content back to the original source resolution. VN-Matrix applies the Extron PURE3™ Codec, a unique wavelet-based compression technology. The VN-Matrix 200 Series offers real-time streaming and low latency, making it
ideal for remote collaborative and interactive or control applications. It can be deployed in live event streaming and high level conferencing for specialized projects.
NOTE: For full installation, configuration, and operation details, refer to the VN-Matrix 200 User Guide, available at
www.extron.com.
Before You Connect to a Network
Before connecting each VN-Matrix to a network you must change its default network settings. On an existing network, check with the network administrator for a range of suitable IP addresses.
On a closed network, used exclusively by VN-Matrix, we recommend that you use addresses in the range 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. The following diagram shows an example addressing scheme for a simple system comprising four VN-Matrix units:
Controller | IP Address: 192.168.0.102 |
IP Address: 192.168.0.101 |
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 | Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 |
LAN-1 | LAN-1 |
LAN-2 | LAN-2 |

VN-Matrix Controller
One VN-Matrix device in a group must be designated as the “controller.” All system configuration is achieved via a web interface that is served up by the controller. In the above example, the unit at address 192.168.0.101 is designated the controller for this group of VN-Matrix devices. Note that the controller IP value on each device is set to this address.
Setup Procedure
Follow the step-by-step instructions in the “Initial Setup” section for each VN-Matrix, then follow the “Operation” section instructions to create a simple VN-Matrix system. For more detailed information and advanced setup procedures refer to the user guide.
